Johnny I Hardly Knew You (Album Version) - The Clancy Brothers

While going the road to

Sweet Athy hurroo hurroo

While going the road to

Sweet Athy hurroo hurroo

While going the road to sweet Athy

A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye

A doleful damsel I heard cry

Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

Oh my darling dear Ye look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are the eyes that

Looked so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are the eyes that

Looked so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are the eyes that looked so mild

When my poor heart you first beguiled

Why did ye skidaddle from me and the child

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

Oh my darling dear Ye look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are the legs with

Which you run hurroo hurroo

Where are the legs with

Which you run hurroo hurroo

Where are the legs with which you run

When first you went for to carry a gun

Indeed your dancing days are done

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

Oh my darling dear Ye look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Ye haven't an arm ye

Haven't a leg hurroo hurroo

Ye haven't an arm ye

Haven't a leg hurroo hurroo

Ye haven't an arm and ye haven't a leg

Ye're an armless boneless chickenless egg

Ye'll have to put with a bowl out to beg

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

Oh my darling dear Ye look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye

I'm happy for to see

Ye home hurroo hurroo

I'm happy for to see

Ye home hurroo hurroo

I'm happy for to see ye home

All from the island of Saloam

So low in flesh so high in bone

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and

Drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With your guns and drums and drums and guns

The enemy never slew ye

Oh my darling dear Ye look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye
